Past work

Air India appointed Perfect Relations Ltd as its public relations agency for India. Perfect Relations was responsible for continuous image audit, media relations, communication counsel and advice on a regular basis to develop an effective channel of communication to consumers, employees, trade and other partners.” [5]

For the media campaign of Congress, Dilip Cherian, Perfect Relations,[4] set up an excellent communication strategy to 'reach out to the poor and less-informed people living in the country's remote and rural areas. He chose at least 48 centres across the country from where he unleashed his media campaign for the Congress by reaching out to the public through local cable television networks, the vernacular press and the lesser-known communication channels that were left untouched by the BJP's high-tech media campaign.' [6]

The firm also got a Certificate of gratitude from UN Millennium Campaign awarded to PR for their work in the UN's initiative Stand-Up Take Action against poverty.[7]

Controversies

In 2006, there was news that Martin Sorrell-led WPP-subsidiary, Hill & Knowlton would acquire image and public affairs consultancy Perfect Relations. The 10-year-old Indian PR firm was rumored to be in talks with several global potential buyers. When contacted PR’s promoter & CEO, Bobby Kewalramani denied any such deal been signed.[8]

Though there was no controversy, the industry took notice of Infosys terminating its PR mandate with Perfect Relations and handing over the same to Adfactors PR [9]
